01 · The question
A course that sells itself
The academy had plenty of video, but it was scattered and earned nothing. The goal: one place where the videos come together and viewers become paying members.
02 · The product
Video lessons, neatly per module
The course is split into modules with short video lessons, explanations and a step-by-step plan. Viewers see exactly what they get and where they are.
03 · Business model
Free to try, pay to keep watching
One lesson is free. The rest has a lock: to keep watching, you pick a subscription and get instant access to every lesson.
That way the same videos earn money every month, instead of once as a one-off course.
04 · Subscriptions
Choose, pay and start watching
Monthly or yearly, pay with iDEAL or card, and go straight to the lessons. Renewals and cancellations run automatically, with no work for the academy.
